ANDOVER

I was raised in a small town in northeast Kansas. There were 27 students in my class from K-12th grade. I attended Kansas State University following high school, and Baker University for my Masters. 

Bachelor of Arts from Kansas State University

Master of Arts from Baker University 

This is my sixth year of teaching at AMS, and my eleventh in Andover Schools. Although my current position is 8th Grade Language Arts, I've taught all grade levels from 3-12th grade. I've taught for 31 years in several school districts across the state, and I believe Andover is the best!  

Before teaching at AMS, I taught 4th grade at Cottonwood. I have taught in Abilene, McPherson, and Garden City as well. This is my 32^nd ​year in the profession.

My own children are now adults. My son is 33 and my daughter is 29. Two years ago, I was blessed with a granddaughter.  My extended family is huge and amazing. I have over 100 nieces and nephews/great nieces and nephews.
